Chickpea and Quinoa Curry
Packing a massive 5 veg portions, this recipe uses a few ingredients you may be less familair with so it’s a great way to get some variation. The quinoa gives it a great texture and the combination of turmeric and pepper makes it great for lowering inflammation. It makes 4 very large portions, so you’ll probably end up with some leftovers for lunch.
Quick Smokey Bean Stew with Poached Eggs
Requiring almost no prep, this dish can be thrown together in under 10 minutes!
Cottage Cheese, Avocado and Sundried Tomato Breakfast Wrap
A substantial no-cook breakfast to vary things up from the usual options. Packed with healthy fats, this will keep you full for hours.
Cereal with Fruit – winter and spring
Not a new idea this one, but an encouragement to add fruit to your cereal, and to give you an idea of volumes that make up a healthy breakfast.
Banana Pancakes with Frozen Berry Compote
These make really soft pancakes (espcecially if you use very ripe bananas), and the combination with creamy yoghurt and tart berries is delicious!
Nut Butter and Banana Toast
A balanced breakfast with sweet banana, tasty nut butter and the satisfying crunch of toast. A great way to start the day.
Prune and Nut Butter Porridge
A sweet porridge made from cupboard staples, so you can liven up your porridge even when the fresh fruit is gone.
Homemade Trail Mix
Easy to make, and you can add your favourite nuts and seeds. Try to get the portions of seeds, nuts and fruits roughly right 🙂
Cinnamon Granola
Try this homemade granola rather than the shop kind as they are often pretty sugar laden. Make it in advance and then just sprinkle on your fruit and milk/yoghurt in the morning for a bit of breakfast variety.
Orange and Nuts
A tasty snack for mid afternoons to kep you going for a few more hours.
